If the
warning light  begins to flash while driving, a fault exists in the engine
control. The engine management system selects an emergency programme which
enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of
driving. 
Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity   The warning light
 lights up until the engine reaches operating temperature 1)
.
Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full throttle and at severe engine loads.
The warning light  comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too low if the warning
light  lights up or flashes while driving.
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
In this case stop and switch the engine off and check the coolant level; top up
the coolant as necessary ⇒ page 155, Replenishing the coolant
.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the con-
ditions prevailing to top up with coolant. Keep the engine switched off and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe
engine damage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the coolant fan. Check the fuse of the coolant
fan, replace it if necessary ⇒ page 182, Fuse assignment at the battery (manual
gearbox, automatic gearbox DSG).
If the warning light  does not go out although the coolant is at the correct level
and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order, do not continue driving. Contact a
specialist garage to obtain assistance.
Please refer to the following guidelines ⇒ page 153, Cooling system.
The following text will be displayed in the information display: Check coolant! Owner's manual! WARNING
If you must stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe distance
from the traffic and switch off the engine and switch on the hazard warning
light system ⇒ page 42

, Switch for hazard warning lights . 
Fuel reserve  The warning light
 comes on, if the fuel level is less than 7 litres.
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
The following text will be displayed in the information display: Please refuel! Range...km 
Engine oil   The warning light
 lights up red (low oil pressure)
The warning light comes on for a few seconds 2)
when the ignition is switched on.
Stop the vehicle and switch the engine off if the warning light does not go off
after the engine has started or flashes while driving. Check the oil level and top up
with oil as necessary ⇒

 page 152.
3 peeps sound as an additional warning signal.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the con-
ditions prevailing to top up with oil. Keep the engine switched off and obtain pro-
fessional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe en-
gine damage.
Do not drive any further if the warning light flashes even if the oil is at the correct
level. Do not run the engine not at idling speed either. Contact the nearest spe-
cialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
The following text will be displayed in the information display:
Oil Pressure Engine off! Owner's manual! £1)
Not valid for vehicles with information display.
2) The warning light  on vehicles fitted with information display does not come on after switching
the ignition on, but only if a fault exists or the engine oil level is too low. 23

 fig. 21 -
left.
Activating daylight driving lights on vehicles with “START-STOP”
– Switch off the ignition.
– Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel, at the same time
slide it to the top and hold it in this position.
– Switch on the ignition - wait until the right-turn signal light flashes 4x.
– Switch off the ignition - an audible signal sounds, which confirms the activa-
tion of the daylight driving lights.
– Release the turn signal light lever.
Deactivating daylight driving lights on vehicles with
“START-STOP”
– Switch off the ignition.
– Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel, at the same time
slide it to the bottom and hold it in this position.
– Switch on the ignition - wait until the left -turn signal light flashes 4x.
– Switch off the ignition - an audible signal sounds, which confirms the deactiva-
tion of the daylight driving lights.
– Release the turn signal light lever.
On vehicles with separate lights for daylight driving lights in the fog lights or in
the front bumper, the parking lights and the licence plate light do not come on
when activating the function daylight driving lights (neither front nor rear).
If the vehicle is not equipped with separate lights for daylight driving lights, the
combination of the low beam, the parking lights (front and rear) including the li-
cence plate light is used as daylight driving lights. In some countries, the national legal provisions require that the rear parking lights
also come on together with the separate lights for daylight driving lights when ac-
tivating the function daylight driving lights. 
Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function For a better cornering illumination, the halogen projector headlights with corner-
ing light function are set in the optimal position in line with the vehicle speed and
the steering angle.
If the warning light
 comes on while driving or after the ignition is switched on, a
fault is confirmed. WARNING
If there is a fault in the halogen projector headlights with cornering light func-
tion, the warning light  lights up in the instrument cluster. The halogen pro-
jector headlights with cornering light function are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traf-
fic. Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and
have the car inspected immediately by a specialist garage. 
Tourist light Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system,
driving on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the mode
“tourist light

” is active, the side to side swivel of the headlights is deactivated.
Activating tourist light
Before activating the tourist light, the following conditions must be met:
Ignition switched off, light switched off (light switch in the position O), control dial
for the headlamp beam adjustment in the position -, no gear engaged or selector
lever in the position N (automatic gearbox), tourist light deactivated.
– Switch on the ignition.
Up to 10 seconds after the ignition is switched on:
– Turn the light switch to the position  ⇒  page 39.
– Engage the reverse gear (manual gearbox) or move the selector lever into the
position R

(automatic gearbox). £40

Bulbs Replacing bulbs The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is replaced.
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount
of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, serviette or
something similar.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The
designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something which you can do yourself, but requires
to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to
change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to bulbs which can only be
reached from the engine compartment.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a specialist garage
or, in exceptional cases, by calling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒ page 150

, Work-
ing in the engine compartment.
We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your ve-
hicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from ŠKODA Original Accessories or from
a specialist garage.
A stowage place for spare bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.
Vehicles with LED separate daytime running lights
In vehicles with LED separate daytime running lights, the bulbs are replaced by a
specialist garage.
